I bought a Delta 12" bandsaw last year. I like the unit, and once I got
the right blade for the job, I was off and running. I've been doing a lot
of resawing and other work where I need a fence. Delta wants almost $100
for their fence, and other mfgrs run about the same. I've been just using
a piece of 2" angle iron and a pair of C clamps, but I'd like something a
little better - easier to use and adjust, and more accurately square. Has
anyony built their own add-on fence? I did a google search and only found
commercial ones in the first 50 or so hits before I gave up.


About two weeks ago, McFreelys was selling Kreig BS fences, supposedly
discontinued models, for around $50. I ordered one and then sent me
what appears to be the same blue and black anodized one that normally
retails for $100+. There were some almost invisible scuffs on one part,
but I suspect this was a lot of blems. For $50, it wasn't worth it to
make anything.
